I'm looking forward to another trip down the Colorado river . We had so much fun. I did fall but i was okay.
Wonderful day out
splodge, Jan 2020
amazing day out with River Dogz - would definitely recommend. Matt called the day before to advise us on what to bring and expect. He also picked us up from our airbnb with some excellent donuts and provided a very delicious lunch. We couldn't have wished for better guides than Brett and Michelle who really made our trip entertaining and interesting. They are a very customer focused outfit and we would love to kayak with them again.
Response from Host, Jan 2020
